8 Questions You’re Guaranteed to be Asked at Thanksgiving Dinner

Brace yourselves, the questions are coming! We are headed back home this week to see our families for Thanksgiving. While we are so excited to head home for real food and see friends and family, it is safe to say we are all dreading the repetitive “how’s college” questions. Prepare yourselves, ladies: 

1. How are classes?

Classes?! Classes are great! There’s work! And stress! It’s great! But seriously, talk about your professors and what you are learning in class. Your family wants to hear that they are sending you to a school where you are getting the best education possible. 

2. Do you have a job?

Oh, boy. Does cleaning my room every week count as a job? 

3. So, is there a boyfriend?

We all knew it was coming. You may as well just describe how the single life is going. Best answer for this heart-slugger is to just say that you are focusing on your studies (but we all know it’s not because of that). 

4. How is your roommate?

It’s a love-hate relationship. Moving on…

5. Are you making friends?

Friends? Are friends the people who you eat dinner with, or the ones you text at 11:52 p.m. to see when the Blackboard assignment is due? Does the girl who I let borrow my laundry detergent count?

6. Are you eating healthy?

If you consider Ben & Jerry’s ice cream pints as a meal, then yes, I am eating healthy. 

7. Do you still have money?

Umm, no. Can we not talk about this? However, I am now accepting donations to my food fund. 

8. What are you studying again?

It either changes every five minutes, or is solid for about two weeks. Get your major description down to ten seconds. Boom, done. 

Congrats! You got through it, now go treat yo’ self. 

Happy ~Thanksgiving~
